I've also noticed that you need to have the slipper pretty tight for the big motors. When you start to coil bind the little spring it will unevenly load the spur gear and cause it to spin in warped looking pattern. Then you back off the slipper to get it straight and the slipper slips. If anyone knows of a little larger or longer spring that might work it could be a useful mod. I think HPI is using the term slipper clutch very broadly here. A sticky backed piece of sandpaper is not a slipper clutch. I might see if I can fit 2 springs on the slipper.
